A Day in the Life of Mario Batali

For the most recent episode of his new short documentary series on Hulu, A Day in the Life, Morgan Spurlock (of Super Size Me fame) followed Mario Batali around for a day. If you’ve got some time to kill on your lunch break, Batali is fun to watch–even more so when he’s scooting around Manhattan on his trusty Vespa.

He touches on the “remarkably refreshable and empty-able memory capacity” of the American viewing audience, and how his now-vast restaurant and media empire “never was deliberate.”
